That high cold muddy MO river

Wow fishen it has been tough just enough timber to be a pain. Went out mon strikeout. 1 good hit and I missed him wasent fast enough to get the rod ,bait was crushed and spit out. Marken some nice fish holding below the schools of carp in 25 to 50 ft of water behind the dikes just cant get em to bite lol River temp was 60 deg even --around the morrison bottoms area. Even the trot liners are slow not many fish and then just small ones. Mabe the next 2 weeks will be better when the water hits 64 to 65 deg and settles out some lol. As long as the rain lets off. Let me know how the mo riverrats are doen with the catfish guys.:smile2:

My coworkers husband was fishing out of Washington or New Haven on the Missouri this past weekend and caught 5 blues. Four were 2-5 lbs and one was a 47 pounder. Very healthy lookin fish. Sure made me wish I was out fishing and not working lol.

I tried yesterday and didnt have much luck.I had fresh shad but we fished the channel more and only tried the flats once,should have spent more time.Might head to taberville today and fish with a old buddy.
